I Blog Fashion & Love Ray Bans

I was gifted a pair ofRay Bans the other day and have since been prancing around Dublin like a would-be celebrity. Peering into every reflective surface, including the bread bin to the right, I'm likely to give Narcissus a run for his vainglorious money. You see, these are the first sunnies I've encountered that DON'T sit crooked on my nose. My vintage Pop glasses always need a little nudge, as do the Zara aviators which slide down the bridge of my nose. What I also like about these tortiseshell beauties is their width - decent coverage without looking oversized in manner of disturbing clown. Loving it²!

I just read a fantastic article over weekend, history of Ray-Bans and all the films, photos, and adverts that have added to their popularity. I love a girl or boy in Ray-Bans any day. Classic.

I just saw a photo of me recently wearing a pair of the standard, Kate Moss by Topshop ones and really liked how I looked much more so than in the real deal though, the smaller frame is much kinder to my facial features.

About Me

About This Blog

This blog is an external hard drive for my own sartorial musings. Moreover it is a compensatory device for my declining short-term memory. If I didn't write it down, I wouldn't remember half of what happens on a daily basis, let alone where I left my shoes. Ax
